ce, devotion, respect, and affection, is imposed upon societies. The sug-
gestion that such a result has to be accepted for greater production and
development is frequently made. Whereas this is a result of human beings
bringing themselves to the "status of animals," not of development and ci-
vilisation.
The truth is that man is not a species of animal and did not come in-
to existence from any animal. Man, whom God created with the possessi-
on of reason, intelligence, conscience, and a soul, is a completely different
creature from other living things by virtue of these qualities. But under
the influence of the spell of Darwinist-materialist morality, human beings
forget these qualities and stoop to pettiness, immorality and a lack of
conscience and consciousness not even seen in animals. Then they say,
"We are in any case descended from animals, these are also a genetic inhe-
ritance from them," and prepare a so-called scientific basis for their own
lack of willpower and consciousness.
Many Darwinist behavioural scientists take this logic as a starting po-
int, and claim that human beings' demonstrating a tendency to crime is an
inheritance from their animal forefathers. The famous evolutionist Stephen
Jay Gould puts this claim, first suggested by the Italian physicist Lombroso,
forward in the following manner in his book Ever Since Darwin.
Biological theories of criminality were scarcely new, but Lombroso gave the
argument a novel, evolutionary twist. Born criminals are not simply deran-
ged or diseased; they are, literally, throwbacks to a previous evolutionary
stage. The hereditary characters of our primitive and apish ancestors remain
in our genetic repertoire. Some unfortunate men are born with an unusually
large number of these ancestral characters. Their behavior may have been
appropriate in savage societies of the past; today, we brand it as criminal.
We may pity the born criminal, for he cannot help himself; but we cannot to-
lerate his actions. 134
According to the claims of the Darwinists, in other words, a human
being's killing another, his causing him pain, stealing, and starting fights,
are a genetically transferred inheritance from his apish ancestors. For
which reason, according to this claim, these crimes do not belong to that
